This CD features Herbert's recordings for Spar, Poncello and Ref-O- Ree records, as well as a handful of previously unreleased recordings produced by Fred James in the 1990s. Northern Soul fans truly covet and laud Herbert Hunter recordings and several of his 45s go for hundreds of dollars on the collectors market. Many of these were recorded with a group that would come to be known as the AREA CODE 615 band. These are the guys that played on Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young and Barefoot Jerry records, as well as many of Nashville's R&B hits at the time.Herbert even performed with AREA CODE 615 when they appeared at the Fillmore Ballroom in the late 1960s. Several sides also feature the legendary Johnny Jones and the Imperial Seven, Nashville's premier R&B band during the 1960s. The unreleased 1990s recordings feature members of The Roadrunners, The Amazing Rhythm Aces and Freddie & The Screamers.Herbert Hunter made his recording debut in 1961 on the Spar label with a cover of "Dr. Feelgood" that outsold the original. It was the Spar label's very first release and it put Herbert in good stead with the company and with Ted Jarrett, who would go on to produce every record that Herbert released for the next four decades. Herbert recorded prolifically for Spar and its subsidiaries Giant, Kenilworth, Caravelle and Hit. He recorded under his own name and as Leroy Jones, Marty & The Merits, Johnny Keaton and several other pseudonyms so as not to flood the market with Herbert Hunter records.In 1962 Ted Jarrett started his own label, Poncello Records, and recorded H erbert for that imprint as well. Poncello was short lived though and Herbert continued to record for the Spar group. In 1968 Ted started the Ref-O-Ree label and recorded two sides by Herbert that were never released at the time. He then recorded for Ted's T- Jaye label in the 1980s and 1990s.

The artistic partnership between film director Federico Fellini and composer Nino Rota was one of the most productive and enduring in cinema history. "La Strada" and "Nights of Cabiria" announced their arrival on the scene to an awestruck Italian and international public. Both movies won academy awards for "the best foreign language film"; establishing the style that would soon reach full expression with the renowned "La Dolce Vita".

These are the original mono soundtracks recorded in 1952 and 1956 respectively: the same recordings that are used on the films and both are long out of print in any format.

Released in 1971 and hailed
as the most impressive work by a young American director since Citizen Kane,
Peter Bogdanovich's Last Picture Show
is an elegiac study of life amid the dust and loneliness of a dying town. An account
of adolescents coming of age filmed
under a vast, empty Texas sky.
The film has no
conventional score. All of the music is from the period between November 1951 and
October 1952 when the film is set and linked to each scene. It is played on
home radios, car radios, truck radios, 45 rpm players, jukeboxes, and at a
community Christmas dance. The Hank Williams song, heard on the radio in
Sonny's old truck in the opening scene, ‘Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used
to Do)?’ sets the tone for the music as well as the movie. All of the songs
featured in the film are collected together in this edition.

Low-key, perceptive, bleak,
and melancholy, The Last Picture Show
shares with Welles' Magnificent Ambersons, a heartache for a time and place
forever gone. The film boasts some superlative performances from the ensemble
cast which the Academy recognised in awarding Oscars to Cloris Leachman and the
monumental Ben Johnson. It is more than a great film, it is a supremely moving
work of art…

"If your mood is right, this is a delight, with artists such as Frankie Laine, Eddy Arnold and Kay Starr showing us how it should be done, with charisma and effortless vocal performance that have rarely been bettered". 4/5* (Record Collector August 2012)

SCARED TO GET
HAPPY (A Story Of Indie Pop 1980-1989) is the first box set ever to document
the explosion of Indie Pop in Britain across the 1980s. Compiled in loosely
chronological fashion, the five CDs chart Indie Pop’s development from the post
punk era and the dominance of Scottish bands through to its genre-defining C86
period and onto the end of the decade, with the arrival of Madchester and the
shoegazing sound.

The box set
boasts a stylish 54-page booklet with a lengthy sleeve-note detailing each
track and illustrations of the records and bands involved.

A few tracks
(Strawberry Switchblade, Soup Dragons, Bluebells, Close Lobsters, etc.) have
never officially been released before. Many others are extremely rare and make
their debut on CD.

SCARED TO GET
HAPPY will be promoted by a mini-festival at London’s 229 club on June 22nd,
with an impressive roster: the Primitives, the BMX Bandits, the Brilliant
Corners, the June Brides, Mighty Mighty, the Wolfhounds, the Popguns, 14 Iced
Bears, the Blue Orchids and Yeah Yeah Noh.
